Let’s celebrate women and girls in scientific research! Often underestimated, women drive research in biomedical sciences both intellectually and at the bench. Research should be a “gender-blind” endeavor, but rarely is. Stop bigotry ! Stop unconscious bias ! Go women & girls!

Happy to share the results from my PhD thesis, in which we uncovered a function for FANCD2 on maintaining fork stability upon re-replication, now out in Nat. Commun! 📖 Read the full story here:  www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way!

Thrilled to share our latest work, just published in @nature.com ⬇ www.nature.com/articles/s41... We discovered that PARP inhibitors 💊 trigger histone eviction from the chromatin and this creates a hidden vulnerability in PARPi resistant tumors. 🧵 (1/8)

NASP modulates histone turnover to drive PARP inhibitor resistance - Nature
PARP inhibitor treatment triggers histone release from the chromatin in cancer cells; consequently, targeting the histone chaperone NASP renders cells vulnerable to PARP inhibition.

Cancer cells often harbor oncogenes outside chromosomes on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), which is unevenly inherited by dividing cells. We reported in Nature last week that collectives of ecDNAs are inherited together by dividing cancer cells. 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
